Think about the lyrics of the song about Abraham.

Abraham fathered Isaac, who inherited the promises God made to Abraham (land, offspring, who would bless all the earth)

Isaac fathered Jacob, who inherited the promises God made to Abraham (land, offspring, who would bless all the earth)

Jacob fathered Judah, who inherited the promises God made to Abraham (land, offspring, who would bless all the earth).

Judah fathered Perez, who thrust an arm out of his mother’s womb then withdrew back into her birth canal all allowed his twin to be born first. But Perez inherited the promises God made to Abraham (land, offspring, who would bless all the earth)

This song continues the story of the same family but from a couple of different epochs.

It also discusses what Jesus meant when he told a woman that God should not be worshipped in any specific geographic location, but IN SPIRIT and IN TRUTH. If that idea was taken seriously, it would get rid of a lot of (un)holy wars.

The song also examines the meaning of the word REDEMPTION.

The church will tell you it means, someone dying (by which they mean Jesus) to take the punishment attributable to a guilty person (by which they mean you)

That’s only one aspect of the meaning of redemption. The stories of Judah, Onan and Tamar (in Genesis) and Boaz and Ruth (in Ruth) present another. They talk about redemption as the next of kin (usually a brother) reviving a dead person by impregnating the widow and thus producing an heir to the dead person to inherit everything he would have inherited and carry on his bloodline.

The song tells these stories, ending up with the vision of Jesus (the Lamb of God) in heaven, opening the seven sealed scroll that represent the ownership of all creation
